We all want to know what this summer’s top toys are, don’t we? Toys really are the crucial ingredient in keeping them entertained when they’re not at school! So, we’ve teamed up with Kelly from the toy department in John Lewis at Queensgate to find out what your little one will love…

The Easter holidays are almost over, and before we know it, the summer holidays will be here! Get prepared early with a visit to John Lewis at Queensgate and check out our range of summer toys – we’ve plenty to help the kids fill their days off. From buckets and spades to scooters and trampolines, there is something for children of all ages.

Scooters
An awesome scooter is a must have for any free-wheeling child this summer and you can get loads of cool accessories, such as bells, bags, sleeves and funky helmets so they can really make it their own. Forget the car keys, grab the scooters and helmets!

Ride-on toys
The Scuttlebug, with its striking tiger design, is always one of our most popular purchases during the warmer months. This trike is suitable for both indoor and outdoor play and aimed at children aged 12 months and up. Exclusive to John Lewis, this really is one your little one will appreciate. We also have a range of other trikes and ride-ons in a variety of styles and colours. For slightly older children (3+) we have a range of balance bikes; these are all the rage as not only are they fun, they will help to develop balance and coordination. These ride on toys are a great way to learn cycle skills before they get a bicycle.
